Also you are right, I feel way better today from actually accomplishing stuff lol plus I actually slept, have been in the sun all day, and doing stuff, and no technology so I feel way better lol need to do this more often.

Bye bye!
Get out of here before you get stuck.

See you tomorrow.

Teriyaki that rabbit. Then grill it. It will blow your mind.

Never mind. A closer look reveals that the rabbit is already marinated and such. If you ever get any plain rabbit, I really can't recommend the teriyaki enough.

Well, I think I was actually up until 1 or 2 BUT. I turned everything off around midnight and haven’t touched it since until a quick break now* so I was reading an actual book all that time. Which is also why I say I don’t know what time I went to sleep because I didn’t want to turn technology on to check. But I spent a while picking one out lol and then today I have been off technology and working all morning/afternoon so far. Haven’t missed it at all but couldn’t stop thinking about this thread. But I finally got my seeds planted. Although I figured out I actually have a lot of direct sow ones which is good and bad. Good because it means I’m not as behind as I thought since most can’t even be planted yet and bad because I am still behind on the ones that aren’t direct sow. But tomatoes usually grow really fast so I am sure it will be fine. I planted eggplant, peppers, and 4 kinds of tomatoes. Still need to plant more but I only have one seed mat. Had another but can’t find it so I ordered a new one which is what I am using. I am worried the eggplant won’t pop up in time but hopefully it will be okay. If not, oh well. Not a huge loss. I will just buy some maybe. But I have the seed mat and it’s set high so hopefully they grow.



*Was supposed to be like 5 mins but been probably half hour or slightly more now but I’m just checking all the threads then putting it back away.



Thank you. I am definitely working on it. Got a lot accomplished today so far and still more to do. Just wanted to check here and then back to work.



Yeah, I’m sorry I was so harsh/mean/bitchy last night. I figured you were probably speaking on the motivation part but I wasn’t sure because you said feelings so I guess I kind of assumed you meant something else. Idk. Sorry. I was probably a little defensive but I know you didn’t mean it this way but the way it was worded/the way you had said you can’t base feelings off it and then listed all the stuff you did I kind of thought it was like saying it wasn’t an excuse or being dismissive of it something which was kind of why I reacted like I did. But I know that you would never intentionally do that or say anything like that or anything mean or whatever so I shouldn’t have been so reactive but it’s just there are people who do and people who dismiss that sort of stuff/don’t believe in it or say people are just weak mentally or lazy or whatever so I think sometimes I get a little overly defensive because of that cause I’ve run into people like that and it can be hard to tell on the internet and especially tone and intentions and stuff. But I should have known you would never in a million years have any malicious intentions or anything so I am sorry for going off like that. And I’m sorry if you know about it too

Oh Kelsey, relax dear. You’re fine! No harm done.

I’ve had the same feelings before, I just know that, for me, keeping myself motivated is what keeps me out of that mentality. You’ll get through it, you’ve just got to push yourself up and over that hump. Everyone has different coping mechanisms, but activity is very widely accepted as the best mental stimulant for self-bettering.

Thank you that would be the anxiety making me worry I was too mean and/or second guessing everything I say lol which is also why I just had to check this thread cause I was worried there may have been a fall out or something which is ridiculous but that was a genuine concern of mine ha but I am glad you are not upset by it and/or maybe it didn’t come across as bad as I thought it did. Either way, thank you and sorry again

Yeah, that makes sense. I definitely need to be more active/motivated and keep myself busy. I normally don’t do anything and just kind of sit around which I think is probably part of my problem or most of it. Especially when I eat like shit. There are people who get upset when people say to eat better and be more active cause they say it doesn’t work and obviously it won’t for everybody but there’s been studies that show diet and exercise can have huge impacts on mood and that gut health can directly affect brain health/mental and other stuff too like physical health and everything too. So I definitely need to eat way better and be more active. Even just this hour I’ve been on here Inalready feel bad because it was only supposed to be a few minutes and I’ve been lounging on the bed and haven’t drank any water in that hour either. So I feel bad when before I got on the phone, I felt great. So I better get off it and actually get some more stuff done lol

Bye bye!

See you tomorrow.

Tomorrow!? I will probably be back tonight. Maybe. I am already getting stuck. Been here an hour and starting to feel bad physically too even just this little bit. Better get back outside and hide it again lol

The new kitty earned some barn cred yesterday by catching and killing a vole. But, then she did this for long enough that my kids came in laughing to get my phone so they could video her:

Oh, and she put it on the doormat when she finally finished. You know, in case any of us wanted a turn.

Sold a Blue Australorp pair just a few minutes ago. They’re not going to be used for breeding, just pretty yard ornaments and the boy for protecting the hens.

Fair enough
How’s the parade of homes going?

Oh it's insanity! We are working on 3 of them. One is a little over 5000sqft, the other two are about 8000sqft. Here's a little peak..

 

[Glitterchicks]

What is parade of homes?????

Every season, builders have a chance to showcase new homes for a week to the public. There are several categories and awards in each category for these homes and they're judged before the public tours them. It's pretty cool. Some of these homes are amazing!
